The ods have fastidious requirements for users, and the training scribble-based methods provide users with great autonomy by process of deep neural networks for colorization is quite time- requiring them to provide substantial color scribbles on the consuming. We instead proposed an automatic colorization approach with no dependence on user input and no need to input gray-scale images and extending the special scribbles to endure long training time, which combines local features and the whole image, which means the result of the scribble-based global features of the input gray-scale images. Low-, mid-, and colorization depends largely on the scribbles. Thus, getting a high-level features are united as local features representing cues good colorization result is a challenging process for users, existed in the gray-scale image. The global feature is regarded and the practicability of the scribble-based colorization is as data prior to guiding the colorization process. The local broad learning system is trained for getting the chrominance limited. The example-based methods have to look for related value of each pixel from the local features, which could be images with good color design, which has a great impact on expressed as a chrominance map according to the position of the colorization result.

INTRODUCTION Color Star is a powerful color identifier. With its clear spoken voice output it recognizes more than 1000 different color shades, identifies contrast measurements, recognizes the color of LED-lights, perceives the light intensity in the surrounding environment and recognizes patterns. 2 Note: There are several methods for measuring colors such as the spectral analysis or the three range color sensor procedure. Color Star is based on the color sensor method, where three sensors are used to measure colors the same way that receptors in human eyes function. Color Star offers two different types of announcement: Universal color names and Artistic color names. The universal color names are scientific and based on mathematical color-guideline tables, developed by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) with lighting conditions D65 corresponding to average midday sunlight.

  • Novel Colour Experiences and Their Implications1
    I n De re k H . Brown and F iona M a cpherson ( e ds.) The R o u tledge Han d b ook of Philosophy of Colo ur, O xfo rd: Ro u tledg e, 2 0 2 1, p p. 1 7 5 - 20 9. 11 NOVEL COLOUR EXPERIENCes AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS1 Fiona Macpherson One evening, in summer, he went into his own room and stood at the lattice- window, and gazed into the forest which fringed the outskirts of Fairyland … Sud­ denly, far among the trees, as far as the sun could shine, he saw a glorious thing. It was the end of a rainbow, large and brilliant. He could count all seven colours, and could see shade after shade beyond the violet; while before the red stood a colour more gorgeous and mysterious still. It was a colour he had never seen before. From George MacDonald (1867) “The Golden Key” in his Dealing with the Fairies, London: Alexander Strahan, pp. 250–1 In his writings for children, George MacDonald (1867) portrays the exhilaration and wonder that would likely accompany experiencing beautiful colours that one has not experienced before. One reason it would be exciting, I proffer,is that we tend to think that we have experi­ enced all the colours that we can experience, and the idea that there are other colour experi­ ences to be had seems rather far-fetched. It is no coincidence that MacDonald’s protagonist experiences the novel colours in Fairyland. Part of the reason that the idea of experiencing novel colours seems a remote possibility is that most people report that they cannot visually imagine what it would be like to experience colours other than those they have already seen.2 Contemplation of such experiences cannot be done by conjuring up images in the mind’s eye of unfamiliar colours but, instead, is limited to a rather abstract contemplation of the fact that there could be such colours.

  • Andrew Werth Artist Statement And
    Andrew Werth Artist Statement About My Work I have long been interested in the mind: consciousness, perception, thinking, psychology, and the self. My ongoing study of these and related subjects informs much of my abstract painting. Notions of embodiment, metaphor, mental “strange loops,” and “Turing Patterns” are recurring themes in my work. My paintings, a type of “organized organic abstraction,” are constructed through a slow, deliberate process that consists of thousands of individual brushstrokes applied one at a time. The marks provide a structure in which to explore perceptual effects and the interaction of color. I design interactions between underpainting and mark making and between foreground and background at multiple levels of abstraction. I strive to create paintings where the viewer will want to keep looking, from near and afar, from different angles and in different lighting, always finding something new to stimulate the eye and the mind.

  • On the Filter Approach to Perceptual Transparency
    Journal of Vision (2011) 11(7):7, 1–33 http://www.journalofvision.org/content/11/7/7 1 On the filter approach to perceptual transparency Franz Faul Institut für Psychologie, Universität Kiel, Germany Vebjørn Ekroll Institut für Psychologie, Universität Kiel, Germany In F. Faul and V. Ekroll (2002), we proposed a filter model of perceptual transparency that describes typical color changes caused by optical filters and accurately predicts perceived transparency. Here, we provide a more elaborate analysis of this model: (A) We address the question of how the model parameters can be estimated in a robust way. (B) We show that the parameters of the original model, which are closely related to physical properties, can be transformed into the alternative parameters hue H, saturation S, transmittance V, and clarity C that better reflect perceptual dimensions of perceived transparency. (C) We investigate the relation of H, S, V, and C to the physical parameters of optical filters and show that C is closely related to the refractive index of the filter, whereas V and S are closely related to its thickness. We also demonstrate that the latter relationship can be used to estimate relative filter thickness from S and V. (D) We investigate restrictions on S that result from properties of color space and determine its distribution under realistic choices of physical parameters. (E) We experimentally determine iso-saturation curves that yield nominal saturation values for filters of different hue such that they appear equally saturated. Keywords: color vision, object recognition, color appearance/constancy Citation: Faul, F., & Ekroll, V. (2011). On the filter approach to perceptual transparency.
